	Timeline: Star Trek
		Thus, Star Trek: The Motion Picture was rushed at great expense (and somewhat unfinished) into theaters to a decent box office gross but an underwhelming reaction by both critics and fans to the movie itself (particularly in the wake of the enormously popular and faster-tempo Star Wars).
		Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan exploded into theaters and became one of the most beloved and successful Star Trek movies of all time (the debate goes on between fans about which is better: 2, 4 or 6?).
		Star Trek: Voyager would return to the bridge of a Starfleet vessel, with a couple twists: the captain would be a woman (Kate Mulgrew), the crew mixed between rebel and Starfleet personnel (and a holographic doctor!), and the ship accidentally shot into another part of the galaxy and would be seeking a way home.

	Star Trek canon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Director's Cut DVD of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (ST2:TWOK) is a good example of this: this special edition and the TV version include scenes cut from the theatrical release which add significant background information, such as details about the family and backstory of Montgomery Scott.
		Star Trek fanon encompasses anything else produced by fans or their opinions and not sanctioned by Paramount, including the plethora of Star Trek websites except official websites.
		Also in the Star Trek universe, issues of what is and is not canon also are rife in the various Klingon-speaking communities.

	Star Trek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star Trek originated as a television series in 1966, although according to The Making of Star Trek by Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry, it had been in the planning stages for at least six years prior to this.
		Star Trek II, IV, VI and Star Trek: First Contact are usually considered the fan-favorites, while Star Trek I and V are usually at the bottom (though I has since received quite a bit of positive re-evaluation in the wake of an acclaimed "Director's Edition" revision released on DVD).
		Currently, Star Trek: Hidden Frontier which is a continuation of the timeline after the Dominion War, from the perspective of the a station and fleet in the Briar Patch as well as Star Trek: New Voyages, a "continuation" of the original Star Trek, are prominent fan series.

	Ex Astris Scientia - What is Canon?
		Certainly the canonical fictional universe is not supposed to be as authoritative as the teachings of a church.
		While the canonicity of some events in the movies (obviously because of fan reactions to "Star Trek V") is suddenly questioned, TAS is said to be slated to become canon (because of a recent fan vote at startrek.com).
		Star Trek writers are expected to be creative and not perfect librarians (something that is largely left to the fans today after Richard Arnold and later the Okudas used to fill that role).

	Star Trek Animated - The Series that ran from 1973 - 1974
		Star Trek Animated - The series was aired under the name Star Trek, but it has become widely known as Star Trek: The Animated Series (or abbreviated as ST:TAS or TAS).
		This canonical definition is often overlooked because it is quite beyond present-day technology and devoting hours of study to it would violate the basic premise of Star Trek: it's supposed to be fun.
		Trek regulars James Doohan and Majel Barrett performed virtually all of the "guest star" characters in the series, except for a few notable exceptions (Sarek, Cyrano Jones and Harcourt Fenton Mudd, who were performed by their original actors from The Original Series).

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Star Trek producers have become meticulous about historical consistency, have improved the consistency of stardates, but continue to ignore galactic astronomy and geography.
		The nearest star system to the Sun is a multiple star Alpha Centauri (brightest star in the constellation Centarus), also known as Rigel Kentauris (name given by navigators), or HD 128620 and HD 128621 (in the Henry Draper catalog), or SAO 252838 (in the Smithsonian Astronomical Observatory catalog).
		In Star Trek stars (or star systems) may be referred to by name, or planets may be referred to by name.

	Canon - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		As Star Trek grew in both size and popularity in the 1980s, fans were faced with the problem of how to treat the ever-growing collection of episodes, movies, novels, comics, technical manuals, and more.
		The Star Trek canon is generally defined as all live-action television series and feature films released by Paramount Pictures.
		A large body of licensed Star Trek works exists that, while approved for publication by Paramount, is not considered part of Star Trek canon.

	Star Trek Vs. Star Wars
		In Star Trek canon, in the episode "Bread and Circuses", it was clearly ordered by Captain Kirk that the Enterprise was to open fire and destroy the planet.
		Again, this is canon, because it was clearly mentioned in the episode.
		Star Trek: the Magazine and Star Trek Communicator are both official arms of Paramount, and their answers are canon because they come from the writers and production staff.

	ST-v-SW.Net :: Star Trek Canon
		Thus, as with the Star Wars canon, we'll run through the Trek canon policy statements, paying attention to the age of the quote and the rank of the speaker so as to produce the best understanding of the policy available.
		And, we'd be remiss for not mentioning a bit of a 'canon rebellion' still in play by some fans who reject the concept of canon (or specifically all canon produced after circa 1980) on the grounds that it steps on the toes of their preferred 70's-era Trek fandom speculations.
		She also noted that Tim Gaskill was a "Star Trek expert" who used to work for her at VCP, implying that he would be in a unique position to be aware of both the Paramount and the old VCP position on canon.

	Eugenics Wars - Memory Alpha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		TOS: "Space Seed" and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan gave the date for the Wars as the 1990s, but DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume" was thought by some to have retconned that date with a reference to them having occurred two centuries prior to the events of that episode.
		It has also been speculated that the Eugenics Wars were fought and won in secret, which could explain instances in Star Trek canon that do not directly support their existence during the 1990s.
		Star Trek and related names are trademarks of Paramount Pictures, and are used under "fair use" guidelines.

		CANON: Short dictionary definition of Canon: "A body of works or writings recognized as approved or official." In Star Trek "Canon" is a word thrown about to indicate absolute truths about what happened on the show.
		CLASSIC TREK: Another name for The Original Series, which was used in the late 80's, after the premier of The Next Generation, when the "New Coke" fiasco was fresh in everyone's mind, the idea being that The Next Generation was to New Coke what The Original Series was to Coca-Cola Classic.
		When Star Trek fandom became big, and started to take an interest in the original, unseen pilot, the original name The Cage was restored to it, to differentiate it from the 2-part Kirk story.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| TV and Radio \| The Final Frontier revisited
		Star Trek had the USS Enterprise which was always commanded by William Shatner (Captain Kirk), was always held together by James Doohan as Scotty, and which presented generally consistent characters that you would come to know and follow.
		Trek didn't invent what's called syndication, but it was so successful at it that many shows tried to emulate it - including Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).
		Its follow-up, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) was the strongest series by far yet oddly also the least popular - until Enterprise (2001).

	The Deeper Side of Trek: Galaxy of the Elite?
		I’ve been through the Star Trek canon and back, and I’ve found that the visible Trek universe (or at least the parts where humans live) is a pretty elite place.
		The point here is that, really, because Star Trek is about exploring space and spacefaring characters, the franchise hasn’t cared to examine the more routine lifestyles, the mundane aspects of daily life.
		The losers in society aren’t getting much exposure on Star Trek, and maybe that’s because they don’t make for the kind of Trek stories most people are thirsting for.

	The Kzin Question: A speculation on Star Trek
		In the Star Trek universe, however, Wunderland is replaced by a thriving native civilization (native being relative, given that the Centaurans might be Preserver-transplanted humans).
		Because the limited Kzin "Wars" in the Star Trek universe were not as extensive as those in Known Space, the Kzin would not have lost as many of their aggressive males in the wars, and thus their genes would continue in the Kzin gene pool.
		Too much of Star Trek depends on several assumptions: (1) that spacefaring races are humanoid in nature, (2) that such races achieved roughly the same level of technology at roughly the same time, and (3) humanity is the decisive historical force in the cosmos.

	The World According to Allyn · Canon Fodder
		I recently made these comments at TrekBBS regarding the Star Trek novels and what constitutes “canon” Star Trek, and for posterity’s sake decided to archive them here because I thought they were both amusing and informative.
		Originally canon was defined as a body of work on which everyone could agree was the basis of christian religious belief.
		Canon is what is generally agreed upon to be authentic, official, the point from which discussion can begin, the bare minimum of knowledge required.

	Canon
		Star Wars canon isn't as simple as Star Trek canon because there are multiple, contradictory statements about canon from various people at Lucas Film Limited.
		According to this quote the novels, the radio dramas and the screenplays are all canon as well (though at a lesser extent than the films) because they are direct spin outs of the movies, so far no problems.
		The one sure answer: The Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition- the three films themselves as executive-produced, and in the case of Star Wars written and directed, by George Lucas, are canon.

	Sisko Leads the Boys' Club in Star Trek Popularity Contest
		Once upon a time in fandom, the eternal question was "who's a better captain, Kirk or Picard?" Since then, the addition of Deep Space Nine and Voyager to Star Trek canon has complicated the debate, and some longtime Trekkers might find the new answers surprising.
		Of the people responding to a recent "Who is the best Star Trek captain?" poll on the site, a full third -- more than 2,000 -- voted for Sisko, leading some to suspect that a particularly obsessive fan had stuffed the electronic ballotbox.
		Voyager's Kathryn Janeway, the only female commanding officer to lead her own Star Trek incarnation so far, trailed far behind with only 7 percent of the votes.

		On the other hand, he is also reported to have declared Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and events from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country to not be part of the Star Trek canon, and yet those films are generally considered "official" by both Paramount Pictures Corporation and the fan community.
		Moreover, several Star Trek television series and feature films have been produced since Roddenberry's death, and all are generally considered part of the canon.
		To be frank, this author considers the notion of an official canon with respect to a fictitious universe to be somewhat absurd.

	Star Trek Gallery: Mego Museum
		Mego's "Star Trek" line was "officially" based on the live-action series in syndication in 1974, but the Mego designers appear to have referred repeatedly to The Animated Series for inspiration.
		As popular and collectible as the "Star Trek" crew figures are/were, a sizable warehouse discovery of these gems was unearthed in Canada in the mid-1980s, leading to a drop-off in value that the collecting community is only now beginning to recover from, some twenty years later.
		In spite of many glaring inaccuracies and inconsistencies with the established "Star Trek" canon, these four Aliens sold well-enough to warrant a third (and, as it would turn out, final) series of "Trek" figures, consisting of four more Aliens: a Romulan, a Talosian, an Andorian, and a Mugato.

	Strategy Gaming Online - Previews : Star Trek: Starfleet Command
		More recently, and with actors largely a full generation younger than the original crew, the Star Trek franchise has extended into 3 full series (at least one of which was far, far more successful than the original) and a couple of movies based thereon.
		Star Trek has figured prominently in the evolution of the internet, and specifically the entertainment aspects of online play.
		I love Star Trek in most of its incarnations, but I haven't spent a single moment at a convention and have never owned a single pair of Vulcan ears.

	ST-v-SW.Net :: Star Trek Canon Quotes
		In the case of "All Good Things...", the finale for Star Trek: The Next Generation, viewers were left with the feeling that life onboard the Enterprise would go on pretty much the way it always had, and subsequent books reflected that.
		The most important thing is that any new Star Trek submission be consistent with the continuity of the various TV series and movies.
		While Jeri Taylor was actively involved with Star Trek, we allowed the licensees to treat her two books as quasi-canon for their projects (because the folks at Voyager weren't likely to contradict them in their episodes).

		Even though it's come to be an emotionally charged word, really all that "canon" means is that if you're a professional writer, and you want to write an episode for a Star Trek series, these are the facts and events that you can't contradict.
		The "canon" memo, some believe, was Gene's way of reasserting control over a franchise that had been ripped out of his hands.
		And also, at that time in Trek fandom, before any of the spin-offs, there were several wildly divergent Star Trek continuities, from the novels to the comics to the RPGs to the reference manuals, all with differing levels of "official"-ness.
